iXiGO.com recently launched Trip Planner, an innovative product that attempts to understand user inputs in natural language, similar to having a conversation with a travel guide, and presents curated and aggregated travel content and information summarized in a visual infographic containing modes of transportation, directions, places to stay, eat, see, weather info and rich information about destination. iXiGO.com has been a frontrunner on the platform adoption curve for mobile devices by being the first Indian travel app on the app stores for iOS, Android, as well as, Windows 8.
